Sadly and unfortunately, Voat is closing. Because of this, we will be hosting our Friday Night Guitar Thread on Thursday night, at about the same time. We're aiming for 20:00 Eastern, but it may be slightly later - or even slightly earlier.
Then, we're going to rock out the clock as far as we can. It's Christmas Eve, so we'll have to see what kind of traffic we get. I don't expect it to be all that busy on Friday morning and Voat is slated to close at 12:00 PST.
Then, we're *probably* going to do it all over again on Friday night at Poal (https://poal.co/s/Guitar)!
Please, please try to attend. We'll be discussing our contingency plans. There will be laughter, joy, and maybe even a few quiet tears.
It's okay. It really is. The Voat FNGT had a good run, going somewhere near 3.5 years. It isn't going to die. It's just moving to a new location.
We FNGT coordinators thank you for past contributions and invite (and encourage) you to get your account name registered at Poal (https://poal.co/) where we'll be keeping the thread rocking

I can't believe V is shutting down... I remember back when it was Woaverse.. It's been a good run, and hopefully the FNGT community follows wherever we go.

Newest member here. Can someone point me to the Q research board? 🤠
So it's really come to pass. Only caught the last 5.5 years, but what a ride. User is a combo of my two accounts.
I can't really be characterized as a person who *makes* music, but I can enjoy listening to some from you baguettes.

It looks like most, if not all, will be coming with us. We've had great feedback and we had a fantastic infrastructure to get the message out to people. @Camels-n-Miller is a lost sheep, as his email is invalid. If anyone knows where to find 'em...

Welcome aboard. This site doesn't get too much use, other than to archive and as a backup plan.
You can see by the age of the site, it has been here for quite a while. In fact, we mention it in every guitar thread - it's in the heading text for all of 'em. Nobody reads those things!

Also, holy balls...
Check the forum stats - like the total number of page views. That's fucking insane.
However, most of the traffic - easily 95% - is bots. Most of the web's traffic is just computers talking to computers, estimated to be in the 90 to 95% range.

I am pretty sure Camels and Miller showed up in some thread this past spring or summer using a different name. So hopefully you were able to reach him through that name.

@COF - please see the @crazy_eyes comment.
I have no idea. I don't pay that much attention. COF would likely have made a mental note if there was a username change, but I can't speak because I have no info to guess.

Hmmm, just on a hunch I used searchvoat and he posted just 8 hours ago. I made sure he is aware and invited.

@COF It'd be awesome if he knew to update his email in the forum.
They can do so with their profile here on this site. Thanks!
